• TITLE: Custodial Security Measures and Criminal Dangerousness in Spanish Psychiatric Confinement*

  AUTHORS: Angelo Giraldi

  ABSTRACT: This paper examines the existing problems and proposes both a theoretical and practical framework for moving beyond the current models of psychiatric detention in the Spanish legal system. The goal is to establish primarily healthcare-oriented facilities that can adequately integrate security requirements with the therapeutic needs of individuals who are classified simultaneously as dangerous offenders and as patients. The proposal is developed through an analysis of the model of psychiatric detention adopted abroad, which involved a broad process of “sanitization” that has produced positive outcomes while also giving rise to several tensions and challenges.
